"Nowhere can you find, in one concentrated place, the overflowing unction of the Holy Spirit in the rivers and tributaries that comprise the Puritan Hard Drive'ssimple yet expansive creation."- Terence Ellard on the Puritan Hard Drive

"As a self-confessed computer bozo (if not leaning somewhat towards computer-phobic at times)I am delighted to report that the technical, usability, etc., side of thePuritan Hard Drivehas presented no challenges to me whatsoever! It is as simple as ABC!

On its contents front, it surely is unsurpassed in wholesome doctrine. For example, type the word 'sin' into the search facility (using the master search index - ed.) and you will be hard pressed to read more uplifting articles on the Christian life, since post-Apostolic days.

To be sure, you can get material on CD's and elsewhere (and much of it is a great blessing) butnowhere can you find, in one concentrated place, the overflowing unction of the Holy Spirit in the rivers and tributaries that comprise thePuritan Hard Drive'ssimple yet expansive creation.

Well done SWRB!"

- Terence Ellard (Christian Evangelist, England)

"In the history of extra-biblical study and research tools there has never before been a resource as useful as the Puritan Hard Drive.Having the Puritan Hard Drive is like owning the largest Puritan and Reformed Library in the world along with a full time research assistant with his PhD in Puritan Studies from Oxford or Cambridge. With the click of a button, you can easily do ten hours worth of research in just seconds! Imagine not only owning the largest Puritan and Reformed library, but having a full-time team of world-class research assistants at your beck and call.It is almost as if God is saying, 'Here is a tool that will lead you to more truth faster than ever before. Make the best possible use of it and bring much glory to My Name.' (2 Timothy 2:15, Ephesians 5:16).The Puritan Hard Drive is a tremendous blessing." - Pastor Paul Washer, HeartCry Missionary Society (click here to see Paul Washer's full review of the Puritan Hard Drive)

"In the history of the church's sanctification (mortification and vivification - ed.) I don't believe there has been a more valuable extra-biblical resource and tool than thePuritan Hard Drive." - Dr. C. Matthew McMahon, A Puritan's Mind

"To have that much information from a consistent, biblical, orthodox, and gospel-centered point of view is simply astonishing. Anyone who admires the Puritans simply must havethe Puritan Hard Drive."

- Dr. Voddie Baucham, Jr., Voddie Baucham Ministries

"The Puritan Hard Drive has been such a superb blessing to me personally and for my ministry, that I lack words to adequately praise the Lord! " - Richard Bennett (former Roman Catholic priest who now preaches Reformation truth), Berean Beacon

"As a member of the HeartCry Missionary Society, I am witness to the great needs of Christians throughout the globe. Possibly the greatest need is sound Christian literature. Even though many Third World pastors read English, they have very few good books available to them. Even if we could afford to buy each indigenous minister a small library, the cost of shipping would be astronomical. With the Puritan Hard Drive we can provide pastors throughout the globe with one of the most complete Puritan and Reformed libraries at a fraction of the cost."- Pastor Paul Washer, HeartCry Missionary Society (click here to see Paul Washer's full review of the Puritan Hard Drive)

THE DOCTRINE OF ABSOLUTE PREDESTINATION BY JEROME ZANCHIUS (REFORMER)

THE DOCTRINE OF ABSOLUTE PREDESTINATION BY JEROME ZANCHIUS (FREE SWRB AUDIO BOOK OF 10 FREE MP3s)

"For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren. Moreover whom he did predestinate, them he also called: and whom he called, them he also justified: and whomhe justified, them he also glorified" (Romans 8:29-30).

Jerome Zanchius

"Having predestinated us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his will" (Ephesians 1:5 ).

In whom also we have obtained an inheritance, being predestinated according to the purpose of him who worketh all things after the counsel of his own will" (Ephesians 1:11).

The Doctrine of Absolute Predestination was translated by Toplady at the age of nineteen and held from publication for some time. It was later requested by Dr. Gill that it be released to the public. After good circulation in North America and overseas, "John Wesley attempted to circulate a few mutilated extracts from the book, signed with the initials of Toplady's name. This forgery of Mr. Wesley caused Toplady to issue another edition, and this is the edition that we have reprinted," notes Atherton in the introduction.

Furthermore, Atherton calls this "one of the best, if not the best book ever issued on Absolute Predestination." He also notes that "in our day so-called Protestants not only deny and reject these truths, but very zealously support the popish theory of free-will. There is one thing all history testifies to, namely, that what the world calls Calvinism is the only doctrine that produces civil and religious liberty, pure and undefiled religion, national independence and prosperity, whilst all other systems produce superstition, worldliness and national decay, only to end in lawlessness, Bolshevism and destruction. It is forgotten that only the pure truth of God can make a nation great or save a sinner. To our Triune Covenant Lord be all the praise and glory."

"God from all eternity, did, by the most wise and holy counsel of His own will, freely, and unchangeably ordain whatsoever comes to pass; yet so, as thereby neither is God the author of sin, nor is violence offered to the will of the creatures; nor is the liberty or contingency of second causes taken away, but rather established."

"What predestination means, in its most elementary form, is that our final destination, heaven or hell, is decided by God... He chose some individuals to be saved unto everlasting blessedness in heaven and others He chose to pass over, to allow them to follow the consequences of their sins into eternal torment in hell."
